List of Ingredients
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons orange juice
2 cups pecan halves
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons orange rind, freshly grated
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon salt Recipe
In a large bowl, combine the egg whites and orange juice.
Add pecan halves and toss to coat; drain well. In another large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Add pecans halves and toss to coat.
Spread in a single layer in a greased 15" x 10" baking pan. Bake at 250 degrees for 30-35 minutes, or until dry and lightly browned. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 5 cups.
If you decide to prepare a double batch, please make sure you spread in only a single layer on the baking sheet. It is important that these pecans dry as they bake to become crispy.
